I don't think Pigeon John's on this one

But that's all right. We'll forgive 'em this time.

LA Sympony has dropped a new one. Record. Full-length. And it's more straight forward - so I hear - than The End Is Now. TEIS was decent, but I had heard so much about L.A.S. that it was a major let-down, with a few exceptions. I expect not to be let down this time.

In other underground genius news, Mars Ill is expecting the retooled, reloaded and (this time) released ProPain to drop in January. Lawyers, let my people go!

The best L.A. Symph record is CIWYW (Call It What You Want). They released it kind of under the radar around last Christmas as a CDR. I don't think they sell it anymore, but you might be able to find it on ebay. Baloney is my second favorite.

ah yes. i'm getting ready to check that album out right now on my rhapsody player.

you know who else is dropping a new album and really needs to just retire completely before everyone gets sick of him if they aren't already. J. Sorrentino! Yes, KJfifty-two! Oops I mean King James five two! I'm getting ready to do it old school and write him an angry letter.

Oh sorry. That was supposed to be posted on another journal. I think that tells me that its time for me to end my addiction to web surfing and pull the plug on my internet useage. When I got rid of my dsl last May I thought that would do the trick but I found myself having to seek out public pc's just like this one.

I've been down with LAS since the beginning. TEIS was a disappointment. Call It What You Want is, indeed, great. So is their first album - Composition #1. I've got all of the releases from every LAS member that's put out solo stuff (PJ, Brainwash Projects, Joey the Jerk, Flynn, Sharlock Poems, Cookbook & Uno Mas), but have yet to get the new disc. Go figure. (They also put out an EP of new stuff earlier this year, which I have yet to get).

"I've got all of the releases from every LAS member that's put out solo stuff (PJ, Brainwash Projects, Joey the Jerk, Flynn, Sharlock Poems, Cookbook & Uno Mas), but have yet to get the new disc."

Yowza. That's impressive. I have the Brainwash Projects disc and Sharlock Poems latest. I found both of them just OK. My theory is that they're better as a group than as solo artists, but I guess I won't know until I've heard them all. Pigeon John's stuff is probably pretty good. And speaking of, he's going to be in Chitown next month.

i caught him and mars ill together awhile back. it was at a church in the north side. i almost felt guilty about leaving during the pastor's altar call. i mean, that is kind of being rude to the host, even if i don't have too much patience with the method. y'know, i give at the office and all.

wasp jerky - You're right, the sum is greater than the parts. That said, pretty much each solo release has at least a few standout tracks. I think the BP disc is the strongest of all of the them (maybe because it has PJ and B-Twice on it - the two best MCs in the group). Of course, maybe it's just nostalgia, as that is how I was introduced to LAS.
